Dear Senator Boxer:
Thank you for thinking of me. It's good to hear of
your goal of making sure your grandson knows you and your retirement plans to

The vast majority of the Department of Homeland
Security is considered by previous applicable determination to be 'essential'
and hence, would continue regardless of shutdown. What follows is my most
recent email to Senator Wyden which also references my responding emails to
Senators Feinstein, Warren, and Sanders and as well, an email to former FBI
Director Louis Freeh pursuant to a request from a current client of Mr. Freeh
(now in private practice); and parenthetically, seeking Mr. Freeh's retention
on my behalf toward the end of resolving the referenced RICO matters of which
he had some knowledge (at least in part). I was 'led to believe' you had some
awareness of my presence before the federal district court in United States
District Court for the Central District of California, LA (The Honorable Dean
Pregerson, USDCJ, who 'amazed' me by saying to LA on a perfunctory motion to
dismiss that in light of the properly pleaded complaint, he was constrained by
LAW to deny their motion. He certainly deserved consideration if not nomination
to the U.S. Supreme Court, particularly as an alternative to the corrupt/inept
Sam Alito who figured prominently in the RICO coverup (see infra, attachments).
There was concurrent jurisdiction so I 'let him out' of a very 'dicey
situation' (federal v. states' rights type of thing) and concluded the case in
state court. I believe his father (Circuit Court of Appeals) would properly recommend
him.

CIA drug runs in Vietnam, U.S., etc.. Like most criminals, they do it for the
money. Parenthetically, I told him as a matter of patriotism (my father had been

immensely curious about my ‘Road Not Taken’ (Robert

of a very large animal, perhaps a huge bull elephant or even prehistoric

become trapped by its own missteps, as caught in a tar pit or some quicksand,
and it is violently flailing about, making a terrifying noises in its effort to
free itself and re-establish its authority. Any observer
immediately knows the animal ultimately cannot succeed but certainly is
frightened by the noise and crashing that it can sustain for a considerable
time." { This analogy would almost be funny if it
wasn’t so tragically true … }
Guest Post: Ending Blowback TerrorismPainful as it is to admit, the West,
especially the United States, bears significant responsibility for creating the
conditions in which ISIS has flourished. The recent attacks
should be understood as “blowback terrorism”: a dreadful unintended result of repeated
US and European covert and overt military actions throughout the Middle East,
North Africa, the Horn of Africa, and Central Asia that aimed to overthrow
governments and install regimes compliant with Western interests. These
operations have not only destabilized the targeted regions, causing great
suffering; they have also put populations in the US, the European Union,
Russia, and the Middle East at significant risk of terror.

But the only part of his business track
record for which we have the full picture shows that Trump wasn’t a successful executive
but an absolute catastrophe.
For 10 years between 1995 and 2005,
Donald Trump ran Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts — and he did it so badly
and incompetently that it collapsed into Chapter 11 bankruptcy. His
stockholders were almost entirely wiped out, losing a staggering 89% of their
money. The company actually lost money every single year. In total it racked up
more
than $600 million in net losses over that period.
Trump was chairman of the board
throughout the entire time, and CEO as well for about half of it.
This is the sort of record usually
associated with an Enron or a WorldCom or a Pets.com.
Meanwhile, over the same period, all his
competitors were enjoying an enormous boom. Take a look at our chart.
While Trump was running Trump Hotels
& Casino Resorts into the ground, the Dow Jones index of gambling stocks — the index that Trump
himself cited in public filings as his best benchmark — soared 160%. Investors
in Harrah’s
saw their stake go up by nearly 150%. MGM MGM, -0.40%
quintupled. These people were making out like bandits.
Donald Trump ran the worst performing
casino company on the stock market. This isn’t a matter of “opinion.” This isn’t speculation or
politics. It’s
a matter of plain fact.
However, one person associated with Trump
Hotels & Casino Resorts did make money:
Donald J. Trump.
A review of the company’s public filings show
that over that period, while his ordinary investors were getting hosed, Trump
himself was siphoning millions out of Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts through
salary, “bonuses”— yes, really — and cozy “service agreements” or side deals with his
private corporations.
Check out the relevant page from the 2003
public filing, for example:
In total, Donald Trump pocketed $32
million over nine years, while his public stockholders lost more than $100
million.
Follow the money. It really isn’t that complex.
Now his supporters want to put him in
charge of the federal government. They actually hope he will do for America
what he’s
already done for his business.

he gains support among Republican primary voters.

By Danielle AllenFebruary 21
Danielle
Allen is a political theorist at Harvard University and a contributing
columnist for The Post.
Like any number of us raised in
the late 20th century, I have spent my life perplexed about exactly how Hitler
could have come to power in Germany. Watching Donald Trump’s rise, I
now understand. Leave aside whether a direct comparison of Trump to Hitler is
accurate. That is not my point. My point rather is about how a demagogic
opportunist can exploit a divided country.
To understand the rise of Hitler and
the spread of Nazism, I have generally relied on the German-Jewish émigré
philosopher Hannah
Arendt and her arguments about the banality of evil. Somehow people can
understand themselves as “just doing their job,” yet act
as cogs in the wheel of a murderous machine. Arendt also offered a second
answer in a small but powerful book called “Men in Dark Times.” In this
book, she described all those who thought that Hitler’s rise was
a terrible thing but chose “internal exile,” or
staying invisible and out of the way as their strategy for coping with the
situation. They knew evil was evil, but they too facilitated it, by departing
from the battlefield out of a sense of hopelessness.
One can see both of these
phenomena unfolding now. The first shows itself, for instance, when journalists
cover every crude and cruel thing that comes out of Trump’s mouth
and thereby help acculturate all of us to what we are hearing. Are they not
just doing their jobs, they will ask, in covering the Republican front-runner?
Have we not already been acculturated by 30 years of popular culture to
offensive and inciting comments? Yes, both of these things are true. But that
doesn’t mean journalists ought to be Trump’s
megaphone. Perhaps we should just shut the lights out on offensiveness; turn
off the mic when someone tries to shout down others; reestablish standards for
what counts as a worthwhile contribution to the public debate. That will seem
counter to journalistic norms, yes, but why not let Trump pay for his own ads
when he wants to broadcast foul and incendiary ideas? He’ll still
have plenty of access to freedom of expression. It is time to draw a bright
line.
How Donald Trump won the South Carolina GOP primary, in
60 seconds
Donald Trump won the Feb. 20 South Carolina GOP primary. Here's how. (Peter
Stevenson/The Washington Post)
One spots the second experience in
any number of water-cooler conversations or dinner-party dialogues. “Yes, yes,
it is terrible. Can you believe it? Have you seen anything like it? Has America
come to this?”“Agreed, agreed.” But when someone asks what is to
be done, silence falls. Very many of us, too many of us, are starting to
contemplate accepting internal exile. Or we joke about moving to Canada more
seriously than usually.
But over the course of the past
few months, I’ve learned something else that goes beyond Arendt’s ideas
about the banality of evil and feelings of impotence in the face of danger.
Trump is rising by taking
advantage of a divided country. The truth is that the vast majority of voting
Americans think that Trump is unacceptable as a presidential candidate, but
we are split by strong partisan ideologies and cannot coordinate a solution to
stop him. Similarly, a significant part of voting Republicans think that
Trump is unacceptable, but they too, thus far, have been unable to coordinate a
solution. Trump is exploiting the fact that we cannot unite across our
ideological divides.
The only way to stop him, then, is
to achieve just that kind of coordination across party lines and across
divisions within parties. We have reached that moment of truth.
Republicans, you cannot count on
the Democrats to stop Trump. I believe that Hillary Clinton will win the
Democratic nomination, and I intend to vote for her, but it is also the case
that she is a candidate with significant weaknesses, as your party knows quite
well. The result of a head-to-head contest between Clinton and Trump would be
unpredictable. Trump has to be blocked in your primary.
Jeb Bush has done the right thing
by dropping out, just as he did the right thing by being the first, alongside
Rand Paul, to challenge Trump. The time has come, John Kasich and Ben Carson,
to leave the race as well. You both express a powerful commitment to the good
of your country and to its founding ideals. If you care about the future of
this republic, it is time to endorse Marco Rubio. Kasich, there’s a little
wind in your sails, but it’s not enough. Your country is
calling you. Do the right thing.
Ted Cruz is, I believe, pulling
votes away from Trump, and for that reason is useful in the race. But, Mr.
Cruz, you are drawing too close to Trump’s politics. You too should change
course.
Democrats, your leading candidate
is too weak to count on as a firewall. She might be able to pull off a general
election victory against Trump, but then again she might not. Too much is
uncertain this year. You, too, need to help the Republicans beat Trump; this is
no moment for standing by passively. If your deadline for changing your party
affiliation has not yet come, re-register and vote for Rubio, even if, like me,
you cannot stomach his opposition to marriage equality. I too would prefer
Kasich as the Republican nominee, but pursuing that goal will only make it more
likely that Trump takes the nomination. The republic cannot afford that.
Finally, to all of you Republicans
who have already dropped out, one more, great act of public service awaits you.
As candidates, you pledged to support whomever the Republican party nominated.
It’s time to revoke your pledge. Be bold, stand up and shout
that you will not support Trump if he is your party’s nominee.
Do it together. Hold one big mother of a news conference. Endorse Rubio,
together. It is time to draw a bright line, and you are the ones on whom this
burden falls. No one else can do it.
Marco Rubio, this is also your
moment to draw a bright line. You too ought to rescind your pledge to support
the party’s nominee if it is Trump.
Donald Trump has no respect for
the basic rights that are the foundation of constitutional democracy, nor for
the requirements of decency necessary to sustain democratic citizenship. Nor
can any democracy survive without an expectation that the people require
reasonable arguments that bring the truth to light, and Trump has nothing but
contempt for our intelligence.
We, the people, need to find
somewhere, buried in the recesses of our fading memories, the capacity to make
common cause against this formidable threat to our equally shared liberties.
The time is now.
NH paper on
Trump: 'Losing is what he does’By Mark Hensch
New
Hampshire’s largest newspaper reignited its feud with Republican White
House hopeful Donald Trump late Thursday, criticizing his “decades of
failure” in business.
“If you
challenged Donald Trump to a game of ‘Trump: The Game,’ he’d
lose,” the New Hampshire Union-Leader editorial quipped.“Losing
is what he does,” it said.
"Trump promises that if he were
president, we would win so much, we’d
get bored and ask him to lose. And Trump has been losing for decades.
“After inheriting
his father’s real estate empire, Trump has used crony capitalism and
eminent domain to increase it. But Trump’s attempts
to set up his own businesses have been striking failures.”
The
scathing editorial comes just six days before New Hampshire’s
primaries on Tuesday. Trump, who is polling
well ahead of the rest of the GOP field in the state, is hoping for a
rebound after placing second in the Iowa caucuses on Monday night.
The
outspoken billionaire has repeatedly battled the Union-Leader over its coverage
of him this election cycle.
He
mocked the paper as “dying” under the leadership of publisher Joe McQuaid after the
editorial board sharply criticized Trump’s campaign late last year. Trump
also took credit when the Union-Leader was cut as a debate co-host.
The
publication this week listed a string of the Republican’s
high-profile busts.
“Trump
Steaks lacked sizzle, Trump Ice bottled water has dried up,” the
editorial said. "Trump Airlines never turned a profit, and defaulted on
its loans. You can’t order a Trump and tonic because nobody makes Trump Vodka
anymore.
“Trump
Entertainment Resorts filed for bankruptcy in 1999. And 2004. And 2009. And
2014. Trump University closed its doors in 2011, but is still facing
lawsuits for ripping off students for packaging a trumped-up self-help seminar
as an actual education.”
The
Union-Leader has endorsed Chris Christie in the GOP New Hampshire primary.
Trump responded at the time by arguing Christie cannot win the party’s
nomination and that the state of New Jersey is currently “a
disaster."
These analyses affirm Trump’s allure to white,
working-class voters as central to his candidacy. It is the pillar on which his
dominant standing in the polls rests. If Trump wins the Republican nomination,
it will be through their support.
Yet these
analyses, revealing as they are, overlook a salient fact. The verdict of
working-class voters will not be the only one rendered on Trump, or the most
important one. However popular Trump may be with the working class, he is as
unpopular with voters who have graduated from college, a group without whose
backing the GOP has no shot at regaining the White House.
Trump does respectably among
college-educated Republicans. In Quinnipiac
University’s most
recent poll of the Republican race, Trump received the support of 30
percent of respondents who had a college degree, more than any other
Republican. This was an improvement from earlier
this month, when Trump trailed Marco Rubio in this demographic. But if
three-tenths of college-educated Republicans back Trump, then seven-tenths of
them don’t.
To put it another way: the vast majority of Republicans with college degrees
oppose Donald Trump.
Let’s Compare Donald Trump to Everyone Else
Trump
does have a positive favorability score among college Republicans of 55 to 37
percent. Yet his net rating is the lowest of any GOP candidate. Ted Cruz (61 to
27 percent), Marco Rubio (75 to 15 percent), and John Kasich (62 to 9 percent)
all best Trump on this measure.
Source: Quinnipiac University Poll, 17 February 2016.
Trump
also does worst on the question of which candidate “you would definitely not support
for the Republican nomination for president.” Twenty-eight percent of
all Republican voters would refuse to back him, which improves to 26 percent
when only Republican college graduates are considered.
Trump
has a hard ceiling with the latter group that manifests in survey after survey.
College graduates constituted 54 percent of Republican turnout in the New
Hampshire primary. Trump won this group with 29 percent of the vote. This is a
good number. But it also means the other 71 percent went for Trump’s rivals.
In
Iowa, Trump fared worse. College graduates made up 51 percent of the GOP caucus
electorate. Trump could do no better than third, winning 21 percent of
college-educated Iowa Republicans. Both Rubio (28 percent) and Cruz (25
percent) bested him in this crucial demographic. All told, fourth-fifths of
Iowa Republicans who graduated college opposed Trump. As Tim Alberta notes in
his exegesis
of the exit polls from the first two nominating contests, these results
suggest “the
formation of an anti-Trump coalition among college-educated Republicans.” Trump’s “weak link,” as Ron Brownstein calls
it, followed him to South Carolina, where Rubio beat Trump 27
to 25 percent among voters with at least a four-year degree.
There
is no reason to believe Trump’s fortunes with college-educated Republican voters
will improve—and
this is just Republicans. With college-educated voters as a whole, Trump is
poison. Pure, lethal poison.
The
preceding chart, also drawn from Quinnipiac’s latest polling, is
illuminating. For one thing, it shows that Hillary Clinton, the frontrunner for
the Democratic nomination, is 13 points underwater with college-educated
voters. Yet she is a homecoming queen compared to Trump, who is an unfathomable
37 points in arrears with college-educated voters. Cruz is also anathema to
college graduates. They even look askance at Rubio now, while earlier
this month they were enamored of him. Only Bernie Sanders gets positive
marks from this group.
A
candidate’s
standing with college graduates is significant because it correlates with how
well he or she performs on head-to-head ballot tests against other candidates.
Here the news is no better for Trump. He would get crushed among college
voters, and consequently lose the election.
This
chart reveals just how poorly Trump would do with college graduates against
Hillary Clinton. While he loses to Clinton by one point overall, his deficit
soars to 15 points with college graduates. This is a gap Trump’s vaunted working-class
support can’t
fill. According to Quinnipiac, he only leads by five points with voters who don’t have college degrees,
45 to 40 percent.
Cruz,
not usually categorized as a champion of the working class, does better with
them against Clinton than Trump does. The Texas senator gets 48 percent of
working-class voters to 39 percent for the former secretary of state. His
deficit among college voters is only 13 points (52 to 39 percent), though, so
he leads Clinton 46 to 43 percent. Rubio polls best against Clinton with both
groups, trailing 40 to 46 percent with college voters and leading 50 to 37
percent with non-college voters. This translates to a 48 to 41 percent lead for
the Florida senator overall.
College-Educated People Vote More
The
“diploma
divide”
among Republican voters was a key factor in the 2012 primary, and it has
recurred in 2016. In 2012, college-educated Republicans lined up behind Romney,
while those without degrees fragmented among several candidates. But in 2016,
as David Wasserman noted
in December, it is college-educated Republicans who have divided their support
while those without degrees have coalesced behind Trump. Consequently, Trump
leads the GOP field because even though he gets only a quarter of Republicans
who graduated from college, he gets two-fifths of those who didn’t.
The problem for Trump (or any candidate) is that winning
non-college graduates while losing degree holders does not a winning coalition
make.
The
problem for Trump (or any candidate) is that winning non-college graduates
while losing degree holders does not a winning coalition make. All it does is guarantee
defeat. Per the 2012 exit polls,
Romney won college graduates 51 to 47 percent over President Obama. It was the only
educational cohort Romney won on his way to a four-point loss.
Trump
supporters might counter that he would make up for it by winning overwhelming
support from working-class voters. This is wrong for two reasons. The first
reason is that, as seen in the Quinnipiac poll, Trump only breaks even with
non-college graduates in the general election. The second reason is that there
simply aren’t
enough working-class voters to make up for the catastrophic losses among
college-educated voters Trump is destined to incur.
Voting
propensity is strongly correlated with educational attainment. The more
educated one is, the more likely one is to vote. Unsurprisingly, therefore, the
two most reliable voting groups in the United States are voters with bachelor’s degrees and those with
post-graduate degrees. The following chart, drawn from the
2012 election review by the Census Bureau’s Current Population
Survey, shows that these two groups turned out at rates of 75 percent and 81
percent, respectively. Even those who attended but did not finish college had a
voting rate higher than 60 percent. The rate for high school graduates was just
over 50 percent, and it declined sharply for those who did not finish high
school.
There
is simply no way a candidate can win a presidential election now by losing the
biggest turnout group by ten or more points, as polls consistently show Trump
doing. College graduates cannot stand Trump, and this surely is no small factor
in him having the
highest negative rating of any presidential candidate Gallup has ever
tested. Sixty percent of Americans have an unfavorable view of Trump. That kind
of radioactivity usually requires a Geiger counter to measure.
College
graduates vote more, and there are more of them who vote. According to the 2012
exit polls, 47 percent of voters had at least a four-year degree. Another 29
percent spent at least some time enrolled on campus. That adds up to 76
percent. The overlap is not perfect, but if working-class voters are defined as
voters with no more than a high school education, then Trump’s hopes rest on taking
larger and larger bites from a cherry.
Donald Trump’s Missing White Voters
Even
the pit has been consumed. Psephologists and pundits have fixated on “the mystery of the
missing white voters” ever since Sean Trende noticed their disappearance
after the 2012 election. In a recent series on the Trump phenomenon, Trende
posits that the candidate most likely to appeal to these missing voters is
Trump, as they were, for the most part, rural blue-collar whites with an affinity
for populism who in another age voted for Ross Perot.
There simply aren’t enough working-class voters to make
up for Trump’s catastrophic losses among college-educated voters.
As
Nate
Cohn puts it, Trump’s base consists of irregularly voting nominal
Democrats from the industrial north, the South, and Appalachia. The problem, Trende
writes, is that there simply aren’t enough of them to win even if you hold everything
else constant. The alternatives are either to win more non-white support or
increase the GOP’s already staggering edge with white voters.
There’s the rub. Trump could
theoretically get more non-white voters (perhaps by appealing to black voters
more than Romney did). Or, more plausibly, he could boost turnout among
blue-collar whites with his stances against free trade and immigration. But he
would do so almost certainly at the expense of support from white-collar
voters.
Liam
Donovan framed the dilemma well in
a recent article in National Review: “Trump can run up the
popular-vote score all he wants riding white-working-class resentment. It won’t help him when he gets
buried in swing counties such as Fairfax, Hamilton, Hillsborough, and Arapahoe.
Sure, he can target the Rust Belt, but big margins in Western Pennsylvania or
the Upper Peninsula won’t matter if he can’t play in Bucks or
Oakland Counties.”
Trump
won’t
play in Bucks County. He won’t for reasons Trende articulates in the
final part of his excellent series. He argues that Trump is the avatar of
what he labels “cultural traditionalism.” Cultural traditionalists
share certain attitudes “about the importance of family, religion,
achievement, intellectual advancement, diversity (at least within categories
deemed important by elites), patriotism, and nationalism” distinct from, and often
diametrically opposed to, those of their counterparts, the “cultural cosmopolitans.”
In voting terms, there are more cultural cosmopolitans
than there are cultural traditionalists, and by a considerable margin.
The
GOP establishment is made up for the most part of cultural cosmopolitans, while
many of its voters are cultural traditionalists. Out of this untenable tension
sprang Trump. The cultural traditionalists love him not least because he is a
giant middle finger to the cosmopolitans.
The
nation’s
metropolitan areas and suburbs, though, are populated by cultural
cosmopolitans, affluent, college-educated professionals who cringe whenever
Trump promises to ban Muslims or deport every illegal immigrant in the country.
As we have already seen, there are, at least in voting terms, more cultural cosmopolitans
than there are cultural traditionalists, and by a considerable margin. As we
have also seen, they loathe Donald Trump. They are never going to vote for
someone who so grievously offends their sensibilities.
Evidence Trump Haters Won’t Switch Sides
A
Trump backer might rejoin that I am merely speculating that college-educated
Republicans would not flock to Trump if he became the nominee. Supporters of
one candidate during a primary often say they won’t support his opponent
but rally around the party flag for the general election. This is a fair point.
It is hard to prove a negative, especially one that hasn’t happened yet. There is
some evidence, however, to indicate Trump may not benefit from this normal
pattern.
On Election Day, Akin lost college graduates 50 to 44
percent, a seven-point swing.
There
are few analogues to Trump in recent years. One who resembled the magnate, at
least in his capacity for intemperate remarks, was Todd Akin. In the
last poll conducted before he devoured his leg, Akin led his 2012 Missouri
Senate race against incumbent Claire McCaskill by 11 points. This included a
one-point advantage with college graduates, 46 to 45 percent. Yet on Election Day,
Akin lost college graduates 50 to 44 percent, a seven-point swing. Moreover, 15
percent of Republican voters defected and voted for McCaskill.
Another
GOP Senate candidate who made foolish remarks about abortion in 2012 was
Richard Mourdock of Indiana. He managed to win college-educated voters, but
like Akin he bled considerable Republican support: 14 percent of Hoosier
Republicans backed Democrat Joe Donnelly, who won.
In
2010, Sharron Angle, the controversial GOP Senate nominee in Nevada, lost
11 percent of Republicans to Harry Reid. Her Colorado
counterpart, Ken Buck, saw 10 percent of Republicans shift to Michael Bennett.
Most
instructive, perhaps, is the 2008
presidential election, which saw Barack Obama win 9 percent of Republicans
and an astounding 20 percent of self-described conservatives. Given the
aspirational qualities of Obama’s candidacy, we should not be surprised he had so
much cross-ballot appeal. Nine or 10 percent is not much in a decisive contest
like his first presidential campaign, but in a close election or a swing state
it could be the difference between victory and defeat.
Donald Trump Means the End of the Republican Party
Trump
doesn’t
make inflammatory comments about rape or abortion. That’s because he’s too busy making them
about everything else: immigration, foreign policy, economics, his rivals,
journalists, you name it. His peanut
gallery roars, but the rest of the country is unimpressed.
A Trump-inspired descent
into white identity politics would be a cataclysm for the GOP because it
would alienate the very voters it needs if it wants the White House back. It
must get at least a few voters for whom cultural affinity outweighs partisan
affiliation. There is no way to win without them. Trump’s campaign, on the other
hand, depends on pursuing voters who don’t exist at the cost of those who do.
Trump’s campaign depends on pursuing voters who don’t
exist at the cost of those who do.
It
is well and good to appeal to the working class. It behooves the GOP to do so.
There is great merit in criticizing the GOP and its leadership and policy
cadres, which often seem to care about little more than hunting such mythical
beasts as the flat tax while pretending to pay lip service to any number of
causes dear to its rank and file. I have myself avowed that the GOP
establishment (and donor class) deserve “incineration.” But Trump should not be
the instrument of vengeance. For that sword, once drawn, will be sheathed only
with difficulty.
By
now you have surely begun to suspect that I oppose Trump. You’re right. I oppose him on
philosophical and ideological grounds. But I also oppose him for practical
reasons. Nominate Trump, and the GOP would lose college-educated voters for at
least a generation, and possibly forever. With them would go the prospect of
ever again winning states like Colorado, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Florida. So,
without them, would the GOP be finished as a national party, and perhaps as any
kind of party at all.
The
data speaks in a clear voice and it speaks a simple message: the Republican
Party can have Donald Trump or it can have a future, but it cannot have both.

‘AN UTTER FRAUD. AN ABSOLUTE AND UTTER FRAUD,’ MCGINNISS CALLS PALIN
IN AN INTERVIEW ABOUT THE BOOK
WITH NBC.
In the book, McGinniss writes that
Palin had a one-night stand in 1987 with future NBA basketball
player Glen Rice nine months before she married her husband Todd. He quotes a
friend who said Palin "had a fetish for black guys for a while."
"She was a gorgeous woman.
Super nice. I was blown away by her," Rice tells McGinniss in the book,
NBC reports. "Afterward, she was a big crush that I had."
McGinniss's book also alleges that
Palin had an extramarital affair with her husband's business partner, Brad
Hanson, in the mid-1990s, and snorted cocaine off a 55-gallon oil drum while
snowboarding.
"An utter fraud. An absolute
and utter fraud," McGinniss calls Palin in an interview about the book with NBC.
"At best, she's a
hypocrite," McGinniss tells NBC's Savannah Guthrie. "At worst, she's
a vindictive hypocrite."
In response to McGinniss's book,
Todd Palin gave a statement to NBC saying that McGinniss "spent the
last year interviewing marginal figures with an axe to grind in order to churn
out a hit piece to satisfy his own creepy obsession with my wife."
"I'd ask the fathers and
husbands of America to consider our privacy when one summer day I found this
guy on the deck of the rental property, just 18 feet away next door to us,
staring like a creep at my wife while she mowed the lawn in her shorts,"
Palin said.
McGinniss says that anything he
learned about Palin by living next door did not make it into the book, but he
does become a character in the story himself.
Soon Mr. McGinniss is settling in to enjoy the fuss his mere presence
has created. "Normally, for a news story to continue beyond the first
24-hour news cycle, something newsworthy must occur," he writes loftily,
but "The Rogue" is filled with proof to the contrary. What was his
hate mail like? He quotes it. What did Glenn Beck call him? That’s here too.
Who took umbrage at this venom and chose to help him? One man offered him a
hideout, despite Mr. McGinniss's slight skepticism about his motives. "But
you don’t know me," Mr. McGinniss protested.
McGinniss's book is scheduled to
hit bookstores on Tuesday, Sept. 20.’
Bristol Palin Interview Accidentally Reveals Mother's 15
Abortionswww.theonion.comWASILLA,
AK—Sarah Palin's political team was forced to do emergency damage control
Monday after the former Alaska governor's daughter Bristol accidentally
divulged on live television that her mother has undergone at least 15 abortions
over the past 30 years. "She's always telling me how special I am, especially
considering the five or six babies she aborted before I was born," Palin,
20, said during a CNN interview in which she was asked if she thought her
mother would make a good president. "Then of course there were the twins
she aborted shortly after having me, another four abortions after Willow
somehow survived hers—but anyway, she's a wonderful mom. She just gets pregnant
a lot and doesn't always want to have the baby." Palin also commended her
mother's strength in carrying three babies with Down syndrome to term, and then
even choosing not to give Trig up for adoption like the others.

Voters
eager to see presidential library with three infinity pools and rooftop
driving range

by impassioned endorsement from Donald Trump

megalomaniac billionaire still more relatable to average American than
anyone willing to dedicate life to politics

soft target to be bullied to jail under some perverted notion they’re doing
their job – what job – coverup for the biggest criminals – how pathetic and
gutless they are… and nbc (and parent
companies among others) who gave rise to media/unreality tv exposure to
‘american furor’ t_rump seems happy to oblige with one of those Sunday joke
shows … t_rump just wants fairness … for himself and only for himself [through
whatever means, ie., bribery through, ie., retainers to law firms linked to state
attorney generals, viz., {kimmelman} wolf and sampson, chris droney’s (now a
fed judge) brother, his sister’s protection/corruption and quid pro quo from
the federal bench, etc., and as well, protection of drug-money laundering
through his now nominal only casinos … ( it’s important to note that bribes in
pervasively corrupt america take many forms beyond direct monetary transfers
and are ubiquitous and extend to all levels of government; ie.,
legislators/politicians’ quid pro quo, judges, prosecutors, fbi <hoover’s
‘whorse-trading’ was ‘world famous’, etc.>, sam alito rising by way of
cover-up/quid pro quo/bribe to inept supreme court justice labeled after an
infamous faux paux in terms of judicial acumen/ability as <in a Washington
Post comment> making clarence thomas look like Oliver Wendell Holmes <my
personal favorite jurist>, maryanne trump barry awaiting full payment of
bribe to brother don’s trump casinos before ruling for RICO defendants (she
also protected john gotti, etc.), etc., See, ie.,
;
that is, as he corruptly asserts ill-gotten financial dominance – always
getting a piece of someone else’s action/work/off the top like a cost so
prevalent and built in ‘On the Waterfront’ – think of those instances where
t_rump had to ‘real (not under)world’ compete; ie., trump air, trump
university, jersey generals(pro football), the fraudulent debacle in Baja
California bearing his name, etc…fraud and failure… ] … Because americans are
for the most part, cowards if not bullies, the threat seems to have had the
desired effect…
The ‘strategy’ promulgated by mobster
t_rump on national television: ‘take away their wealth’ … well, that’s worked
for him in america where the processes are fixed/corrupted and far from the
‘fair treatment’ he’s demanding as if a victim … Wasn’t that hitler’s
strategy/popular tune … a page right out of hitler’s blood-red linings
playbook … and, even substantially a motivation for the debacle in Iraq (oil
wealth) which I unequivocally opposed ab initioand without qualification … Well now, isn’t
that what made the 20th century the bloodiest … payback/pushback/blowback’s
a bitch and modern weaponry is ever more lethal … t_rump awaited the negative
outcome before taking a position – check the dates … t_rump’s also exploited
the hot button issue of immigration when the truth/reality is that the
aforesaid immigration debacle is but a fraction of the damage/cost to the
nation of home-grown crimes of corruption, bribery, illegal drugs/(drug) money
laundering and financial frauds in the hundreds of billions (along with
citizen violent crimes which has made the u.s. number 1 in that regard for
many decades), integral to and attributes of his indigenous new york/new
jersey nationwide sinkhole; the frenzy obscuring the magnitude of such
home-grown crimes /criminality /corruption that has benefited him while
focusing on the almost insignificant by financial comparison immigration issue
… Since Pope Francis has been vocal/prominent in the immigration debate, it is
time for The Church to step up so as not to be accused of silence as was so
during hitler’s rise … the scape-goating of the relatively powerless/ the
minorities/ the poor/ the oppressed … yet another page right out of hitler’s
blood-red linings playbook … What say you, Pope Francis … After all, the
‘moneychangers’ to which t_rump is joined at the hip (ie., wall street, etc.)
would make the corrupt, avaricious ‘moneychangers’ condemned by Christ look
like novices/pikers in comparison. (NOTE:
8-23-15 t_rump says tax the hedge funds … sure, relatively small in size
dispersed here and there… chump change if at all collectible with offsets
given the sell-off owing to fraudulently inflated bubble prices coming back to
earth/reality; but, not the institutional monoliths, ie., goldman sachs,
j.p.morgan, et als of his new york/new jersey national drain homeland and at
the heart of scam/problem – bail-outs, pennies-on-a-dollar ‘cost of business’
fines but no prosecutions or full disgorgement, huge bonuses even as bailed
out, etc. … If you think t_rump is for the middle class, you haven’t been
paying attention or he might just sell you the Brooklyn Bridge … You are
already paying for churn and earn, non-value, non-value added computerized
lightning-fast scams) Yes, as Michael
Lewis pointed out, ‘A Den of Thieves’ (See also Michael Lewis’ most recent
fact-filled non-fiction book, ‘The
Big Short’ – ‘… The Big Short describes several of the key players in the creation of the credit default swap market that sought to bet
against the collateralized debt obligation
(CDO) bubble and thus ended up profiting from the financial crisis of 2007–2010. The
book also highlights the eccentric nature of the type of person who bets
against the market or goes against the grain….’ Wikipedia)

The rant of the despot tyrant, t_rump … isn’t that what they (despots,
tyrants, dictators) all say … they’ll ‘get things done’ (purported democracy
nothwithstanding) … indeed, ‘the furor’, t_rump’s role model did exactly that
… ‘america’s a hellhole’ says trump; indeed, in his own image, your pain has
been his gain … I differ with the Washington Post’s Philip Bump in that I
think t_rump will bring Harry Potter into his fetid fold to act as secretary
of state and treasury to use his magic wand to abrogate all the failed
policies that facilitated t_rump’s ill-gotten gains and concomitantly your
pains (the cost of t_rump’s gains) and magically ‘get things done’… yes, ‘the donald’, like ‘the furor’, is a
man of action … Hmmm! … What truly amazes me is that americans really believe
or, at the least, are totally ignorant of the reality that t_rump’s ill-gotten
gains were ill-gotten / illegitimate and ultimately garnered at yours and the
nation’s expense … hence, the nation’s current predicament … Department of
(In)justice? … t_rump would keep that just the way it corruptly is …
Here is
what (a) President Trump’s Cabinet will look like
Gotta re-fill all these seats! (MANDEL NGAN/AFP/Getty
Images)
Somehow, I didn't know that Mama Grizzly Radio existed, probably because I
live on one of the coasts and not in Real America, which includes Alaska
despite it being on a coast. The network touts itself as offering "Sarah
Palin news 24-7" -- a slate that includes a weekly show called "The
Palin Update with Kevin Scholla." (One Palin update from this week's
program: "President Obama finally lowers flags to half-staff to honor our
Marines shortly after Governor Palin and others demand he do so.")
But the real news on that show came when
Donald Trump joined Scholla. The host asked Trump if he might
appoint Palin to a Cabinet position. "I'd love that," Trump
responded. "So would we," added Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert and
Jimmy Fallon, basically.
It raises the question, though: What would
a Trump Cabinet look like?
Because Trump is busy poring over poll
numbers and reviewing tape from focus groups, we went ahead and cobbled it
together for him.
●●●●●●●
Vice President: Oprah Winfrey, per Trump's past suggestion. Would
she run with Trump? If Donald Trump can convince the Hispanic vote to come out
for him, which he insists he can, he can certainly convince Winfrey to join
his ticket. He has great negotiators.
Secretary of the Interior: Sarah Palin. Granted, Palin would
probably like something a little more substantive than this, but what other
candidate can brag about having toured the country hunting various animals
for a TV show? In case Palin declines, maybe reach out to that dentist.
Secretary of Homeland Security: Joe Arpaio. Trump's campaign shot into the
stratosphere after his appearance with Arpaio at an immigration event in
Arizona. This has the added benefit of helping to keep the Department of Justice off Arpaio's back.
Secretary of State: We know that Trump thinks that Hillary
Clinton was the worst secretary of state in American history. He
clearly wants the opposite of that. So how about Vladimir Putin, whom Trump has repeatedly praised? He's
pretty opposite.
Secretary of Housing and Urban
Development: Ivanka Trump. Public housing is basically just a
no-frills hotel, right?
Secretary of Health and Human Services: Dr. Oz.
Secretary of Transportation: Christophe Georges, president of Bentley
Motors.
Secretary of Education: Michael Sexton, former president of Trump University, which was a thing.
Secretary of Agriculture: Secretary of Agriculture:
Tom Fazio, Trump's golf course architect. Who
knows more about proper watering and vegetation maintenance than this guy?
Also, the imminent desertification of swaths of California sounds
much better if you think about the process as "the creation of
challenging new sand bunkers."
Secretary of the Treasury: Donald Trump. Sure, it's more common for
the president to appoint someone else to this position, but who's better at
managing money than Donald Trump? No one. He's the best.
Secretary of Veterans Affairs: Donald Trump. Sure, it's more common to
etc., etc. But who cares more about the veterans than Donald Trump? No one.
Secretary of Defense: Donald Trump. Sure, etc., etc., etc.,
ISIS, etc. No one.
Secretary of Labor: Position will be left unfilled.}

‘AN UTTER FRAUD. AN ABSOLUTE AND UTTER FRAUD,’ MCGINNISS CALLS
PALIN IN AN INTERVIEW ABOUT THE BOOK
WITH NBC.
In the book, McGinniss writes
that Palin had a one-night stand in 1987 with future NBA basketball
player Glen Rice nine months before she married her husband Todd. He quotes a
friend who said Palin "had a fetish for black guys for a while."
"She was a gorgeous woman.
Super nice. I was blown away by her," Rice tells McGinniss in the book,
NBC reports. "Afterward, she was a big crush that I had."
McGinniss's book also alleges
that Palin had an extramarital affair with her husband's business partner,
Brad Hanson, in the mid-1990s, and snorted cocaine off a 55-gallon oil drum
while snowboarding.
"An utter fraud. An absolute
and utter fraud," McGinniss calls Palin in an interview about the book with NBC.
"At best, she's a
hypocrite," McGinniss tells NBC's Savannah Guthrie. "At worst, she's
a vindictive hypocrite."
In response to McGinniss's book,
Todd Palin gave a statement to NBC saying that McGinniss "spent the
last year interviewing marginal figures with an axe to grind in order to churn
out a hit piece to satisfy his own creepy obsession with my wife."
"I'd ask the fathers and
husbands of America to consider our privacy when one summer day I found this
guy on the deck of the rental property, just 18 feet away next door to us,
staring like a creep at my wife while she mowed the lawn in her shorts,"
Palin said.
McGinniss says that anything he
learned about Palin by living next door did not make it into the book, but he
does become a character in the story himself.
Soon Mr. McGinniss is settling in to enjoy the fuss
his mere presence has created. "Normally, for a news story to continue
beyond the first 24-hour news cycle, something newsworthy must occur," he
writes loftily, but "The Rogue" is filled with proof to the
contrary. What was his hate mail like? He quotes it. What did Glenn Beck call
him? That’s here too. Who took umbrage at this venom and chose to help him?
One man offered him a hideout, despite Mr. McGinniss's slight skepticism about
his motives. "But you don’t know me," Mr. McGinniss protested.
McGinniss's book is scheduled to
hit bookstores on Tuesday, Sept. 20.’
Bristol Palin Interview Accidentally Reveals Mother's 15
Abortionswww.theonion.comWASILLA,
AK—Sarah Palin's political team was forced to do emergency damage control
Monday after the former Alaska governor's daughter Bristol accidentally
divulged on live television that her mother has undergone at least 15
abortions over the past 30 years. "She's always telling me how special I
am, especially considering the five or six babies she aborted before I was born,"
Palin, 20, said during a CNN interview in which she was asked if she thought
her mother would make a good president. "Then of course there were the
twins she aborted shortly after having me, another four abortions after Willow
somehow survived hers—but anyway, she's a wonderful mom. She just gets
pregnant a lot and doesn't always want to have the baby." Palin also
commended her mother's strength in carrying three babies with Down syndrome to
term, and then even choosing not to give Trig up for adoption like the others.

Remarkably
similar threatening tactics have been directed at other women who, like Mrs.
Browning, have personal knowledge of Clinton’s misconduct and were sought as
witnesses in official proceedings against Clinton. See id. at 134. Plaintiffs
referred in their Amended Complaint to the threats and retaliation by Clinton
and his agents against Kathleen Willey and Linda Tripp when they were called
to testify in the Jones case and the Independent Counsel’s investigation of
the Lewinsky affair. Indeed, the number of women who have suffered from these
"Clintonian" tactics is significant. On March 11, 1999, Investor’s
Business Daily reported that at least nine (9) women have now charged that
Clinton "personally assaulted them or, through his ‘agents’ or ‘people’,
threatened to do them or their families physical harm." The list includes
Dolly Kyle Browning, Gennifer Flowers, Juanita Broaddrick, Paula Corbin Jones,
Kathleen Willey, Monica Lewinsky, Linda Tripp, Sally Perdue, and Elizabeth
Ward Gracen. "And all of them say they’re afraid for their safety so long
as he remains in power."
Lewinsky, who told her own account of the affair in
the 1999 book "Monica's Story," said she reluctantly spoke out about
Clinton's tome "My Life" because he tried to rewrite history.
"He says he was proud of the way that he defended the presidency, at my expense,"
she said. "In the process he destroyed me, and that was the way he was
going to have to do that, to get through impeachment," Lewinsky added.
"I was a young girl and to hear him saying some of the things he was
saying today -- it's a shame."

video (11 mb) is well done and worth a watch!http://www.albertpeia.com/wobamaschoomgangbangin.wmv}{ The following was my response to an old friend on facebook; and, yes,
I was and am aware that ‘they’ monitor same among other net media,
communications, etc. : ‘…..you
may remember the first time we had gotten stoned. I was living in Seacrest
Beach (summer, 1970) and you came down for the week. Two girls I had
previously met on the beach apparently scored some pot (and probably needed a
place to smoke it) stopped by; and we smoked some (I snitched a little which
we were to continue smoking later.) Truth be told, in what was probably the
only instance where being short was of a distinct advantage, I was paired with
the smaller (about 5'4"), very cute and pretty blonde cheerleader from
Parsippany, while you got the near 6' but also attractive friend. The pretty
blonde and I retreated to my bedroom. Unfortunately for you, the tall girl you
were with was bitchy and witchy (you may recall she was a self-proclaimed
witch who had also dubbed me, 'Alday'. Our attitude concerning such
personality quirks was one that comported with our rather shallow, jockish,
but very expedient mindset with girls; viz., as long as they were attractive
and 'put out', just fine ... or as they say here (in southern California) in
the valley, 'whatever'). When they left, we smoked what was left of the pot,
and you immediately began cooking up food (munchies) and as I watched you, you
appeared to be moving in a very jerky but slow motion fashion (like a slow
motion, 15 fps old silent film) to which I called your attention more than
once also attributing same to your being stoned ... Finally, you abruptly
stated that it was I who was stoned which I hadn't realized up to that point
but suddenly realized was true. But it was also true that we were both
stoned…..’
{ It should be noted that now for decades I’ve not
used any illegal substances whatsoever (no big deal/sacrifice) or ‘legal’
substances/drugs including alcohol except aspirin, coffee/tea/cola/caffeine -
I smoke a tobacco (admittedly not healthy) pipe, but so did Albert Einstein,
and, as well, Hugh Hefner who has been reported to have a high IQ and must be
a genius having made a fortune taking naked pictures of and having sex with
beautiful women … (remember nancy reagan’s preposterous ‘just say no to drugs’
campaign when ultimately it was pointed out by investigative author Kitty
Kelly that nancy was a ‘walking pharmacy’ so numerous were her prescription
drugs of choice … shades of nixon’s eulogy to Elvis in noting Elvis’ lethal
drug mix were legal drugs … riiiiight, dick) owing to arbitrary enforcement,
hypocrisy, etc. … In the past I’ve ‘partied’ (ie., pot, hashish, blow, etc.)
weekends with assistant prosecutors, prosecutor, other lawyers, among others,
etc.. (Note that the prosecutor who prosecuted Paris Hilton for possession of
a small amount of cocaine was himself busted and prosecuted for possession of
a small amount of cocaine, etc.)}.
Atheists 'face discrimination around globe'... {
Indeed! After all, the ‘globe’ can’t be wrong ‘all the time’. Actually, I have
previously stated that I can empathize with the agnostic ( F. Lee Bailey was
notably in that category by prior self-proclamation, among others ); this
world being such as it is, human beings such as they are. Yet, said position
is still unequivocally, absolutely incorrect; but, understandable. The
position of the atheist is at the least intellectually dishonest (at worst,
constituting a petulant penchant for the ‘great lie’ and in some instances, an
inherent capacity for great evil). But, as well, atheism is incorrect, and
certainly not understandable; and all the more wrong by positing something
they don’t and hence, obviously, could not know as being so. Atheists are,
quite simply…pathetic! }
Difficult to Believe; yet, now,
despite netanayahu’s ‘guarantee’ that things would be better in the mideast
with an american invasion of Iraq, we all know such guarantee from a lying
fraud like netanyahu was simply untrue and things are worse than ever. We also
saw that his ‘red line’ speech calling for an invasion of the historically
great civilization of Iran was simply untrue. He now once again calls for
reliance upon his lies/israeliocentric concerns for an invasion of the
historically great civilization of Iran. Who has illegal nukes (with stolen
nuke technology from the u.s.) and refuses the dictates of (and signing the)
nuclear non-proliferation and disclosure? … israel… What belligerent, militant
illegal nuke nation acts like they have illegal nukes to the detriment of
other regional nations … israel. What leader used terrorist bombings to usurp
control of mideast land from the caretaker brits … manachem begin, israel
…{ This factual reality is/was not
lost in the world of film beyond the shores of america/israel … If you have
occasion to watch the well-made satire, ‘Brazil’ (starring Jonathon Price
among others some years ago), you’ll note the sound/music score background to
a typical terrorist bombing is the ‘Hava Nagila’ (israeli theme song). }
I’ve previously stated in this website that Yitshak
Rabinwas a great man of courage,
motivated by neither wealth nor grandeur, who gave his blood, sweat, and tears
fighting for and leading israel and who wisely sought peace saying ‘no more
tears’ … cut down, not by an Arab, Palestinian, Iranian, etc., but by fellow
israeli likudnut of netanayahu.
ISIS, as I’ve previously stated in this website
must be completely destroyed … Who’s doing the heavy lifting in that regard …
certainly not israel … Answer: the historically great civilization of Iran …
REMEMBER:
ISIS (AMONG
OTHER DESTABILIZING FACTIONS) IS THE YANG OF THE YING OF YINGYANG/MORON/DUMBYA
BUSH AND FELLOW WAR CRIMINALS, IE., CHENEY, ET ALS, NEOCONS, ETC..

STUDY: Girls As Young As 6 See
Themselves As Sex Objects... { Wow! This is really quite alarming and bespeaks
america’s new-found perverse, third-world uncivilized status, which is ‘picked
up’ by kids who in some ways are smarter than given credit for with a
vulnerable longing to please, be accepted in light of their powerless position
in our ever more deteriorating society. Moreover, with the prevalence of sick
pedophiles and kiddie-porn, it’s not so surprising that kids might pick up on
such abominable vibes. It is difficult to imagine that little girls could be
the objects of such horror as, ie., Samantha Runnion ( who was kidnapped,
sexually abused and strangled by a man who lured her from her front yard by
telling her he had lost his dog. Her naked body was found the next day by a
hiker in Cleveland National Forest, 50 miles southeast of Stanton. The autopsy
revealed that she died from compression. A sample of the kidnapper's DNA was
found under her fingernail. The suspect, a Lake Elsinore, California, man
named Alejandro Avila, was convicted of first degree murder with special
circumstances in May 2005. His DNA was found on Samantha's body, and her DNA
was found in his car. He was arrested three days after the abduction. Avila
had previously been to the condominium complex where Samantha lived, because
his ex-girlfriend resided there and he had been previously acquitted of
molesting her daughter and niece. On May 16, 2005, the jury recommended he
receive the death penalty. On July 22, 2005, Avila was formally sentenced to
death. He is incarcerated at San Quentin State Prison on death row ). Then
there was that other little girl who was brutalized, sexually assaulted/raped,
and then buried alive while clutching her teddy bear. What species, other than
man, is capable of such horror/perversion/criminality?!
The great authors have in large part engaged in
treatment of what’s been termed the universal theme of ‘man’s inhumanity to
man’. I differ with that characterization which I believe is incorrect and
would posit the universal theme as being ‘man’s humanity to man’.
As an aside, I’ve included the following for the
record as well: Personally, I’ve never had/known a virgin in the biblical sense
though I’ve been in a position to; that’s something I just don’t do. Never
have, never wanted to, never would, never will! Though I’ve had many
consensual sexual liasons with many different female sexual partners
(mid-hundreds) all of whom I liked, I’ve never, ever resorted to prostitutes.
The accidental exceptions included two ‘call girls’; one having met at summer
beach town bar matinee and who was ‘not working’ (as it turned out the reason
being she was at the end of her menstrual cycle). The other at a grocery store
with her daughter which made such in my mind, unlikely. As it turned out, both
were ‘nymphomaniacs’ (which, truth be told, made for quite an exceptional
sexual romp) and I simplistically inferred/surmised without dwelling on the
subject that they probably expected they’d have inordinate amounts of sex
anyway and might as well get paid for it – of course I didn’t nor was I asked
to pay. The other incident I’m including here for the record concerned an
absolutely beautiful (blond hair, blue eyes, pretty, cute, perfectly
built/proportioned – make no mistake, however, I like brunettes also/equally)
girl I met at a bar called ‘the Red Ranch’, later changed to ‘Harpoon
Willy’s’. At closing, we immediately became amorous, near intimate to a point
in my car with abrupt ‘resistance’ at the ‘crucial moments’. When I finally,
‘exasperated’, asked ‘what’s up’, she stated she had recently broken up with
her boyfriend who had gone too far in the ‘sado-masochistic’ ritual behavior
they were, and she still was into. I told her I wasn’t into it(I don’t connect sex with sado-masochism);
never would, never did, never will. We talked for quite some time and she
explained her ‘predisposition’ the (her perceived) consequence of her strict,
puritanical upbringing and feelings of guilt concomitant with sexual activity
requiring coincident punishment/pain when so engaged. I was busy with law
school evenings, work full-time, and teaching at a local college part-time and
parted ways without taking her number and never did see her again. }]

6 ARRESTED IN NEW GANG RAPE OF A BUS PASSENGER IN

californication amerikan jurisprudential scholar/jurist/judge, these 25 girls
may not have realized it, but, they really wanted it … you know, otherwise, as
per the californication jurisprudential scholar/jurist/judge these
subconsciously consensual encounters could not have happened because the body
would ‘just say no’ to such liasons if nonconsensual. There you go! … american
jurisprudence has done it again as they guide us through those dark, shadowy,
murky areas of the law that would otherwise label violent criminal rapists as
violent criminal rapists.(We’re
talking India here; but, violent rape among a plethora of other substantial
crimes including murder, huge protected ie., wall street, etc., frauds, armed
robberies, etc., are rampant in pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt
america.)India gang-rape suspects to
face murder charges (CBS/AP) NEW DELHI - Indian police charged six men with
murder on Saturday, hours after a woman who was gang-raped and beaten on a bus
in New Delhi nearly two weeks ago died in a Singapore hospital. { Clearly,
says the california-american jurist/jurisprudential scholar, this girl was not
a victim but really ‘wanted it’ and while she may have been screaming/saying
‘no’, she really meant ‘yes’ since otherwise her body wouldn’t have permitted
that rape (and beating) to happen. See … now that’s why we have professionally
educated/trained judges … to ‘split the pubic hairs’, so to speak … (that
judge should be forced to step down)} Calif. judge says a victims' bodies can
prevent rape CBS News SANTA ANA, Calif. A Southern California judge is being
publicly admonished for saying a rape victim "didn't put up a fight"
during her assault and that if someone doesn't want sexual intercourse, the
body "will not permit that to happen.” { Wow! Spoken like a true
california american jurist. Well, with violent rapes on the rise along with
other serious violent among other crimes in america and california
particularly, and elections being what they are, ‘might as well go with the
flow’ might have been the ratio-descedendi. After all, so the (ir)rationale
would go, most violent criminals in america are closet pacifists/peace corp
members and if the body says yes or no but the mind subconsciously says yes,
only then will a rape happen (NOT!); and, no violent rapist would let a
LIVE/CONSCIOUS rape-resistor get in the way of implicit consensual rape. Wow!
I initially was going to quip, ‘he doesn’t get out much’; but, maybe he just
‘gets out too much’. Wow! What more can anyone say! [ If the foregoing didn’t
make sense to you, that’s because the californication judge’s outrageous
statement is absolutely preposterous! ] }
British
actor Gary Oldman has had a nice very career in Hollywood. Now, it’s over.
Oldman tells Playboy magazine that Hollywood is “run by Jews,” suggests that
those Jews make fun of Germans, and says that the policeman with whom Mel
Gibson became embroiled in a huge anti-Semitic scandal probably is
anti-Semitic himself …{or jewish – I added this and what’d ya know …
coincidence? … maybe not … hmmm }. Oldman seems unaware that James Mee,
the policeman, is Jewish himself . . . . .
Here are the quotes:
“I don’t know about Mel. He
got drunk and said a few things, but we’ve all said those things. We’re all
fucking hypocrites. That’s what I think about it. The policeman who arrested
him has never used the word nigger or that fucking Jew? I’m being brutally
honest here. It’s the hypocrisy of it that drives me crazy. Or maybe I should
strike that and say “the N word” and “the F word,” though there are two F
words now.”
“Alec calling someone an
F-A-G in the street while he’s pissed off coming out of his building because
they won’t leave him alone. I don’t blame him. So they persecute. Mel Gibson
is in a town that’s run by Jews and he said the wrong thing because he’s
actually bitten the hand that I guess has fed him—and doesn’t need to feed him
anymore because he’s got enough dough. He’s like an outcast, a leper, you
know? But some Jewish guy in his office somewhere hasn’t turned and said,
“That fucking kraut” or “Fuck those Germans,” whatever it is? We all hide and
try to be so politically correct. That’s what gets me. It’s just the sheer
hypocrisy of everyone, that we all stand on this thing going, “Isn’t that
shocking?” [smiles wryly] All right. Shall I stop talking now? What else can
we discuss?” …’
{ I think Gary Oldman
is spot-on and correct. ( And, if you’re white and in proximity
especially to packs of blacks, if you’ve not been called honky, cracker,
white trash or mugged on the spot, you are truly the exception, not the
rule … and, I’m not the exception in that regard… see also, ie., 3-17-15

After
all, look what they’ve done to Gibson for the great ‘Passion of the Christ’ (I
had been putting off watching it because I knew it would be brutally painful to
even watch much less contemplate and brutally honest). It is among the greatest
films I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen ‘nearly all worth seeing’. And, then
there’s ‘Apocalypto’ … another truly great film … particularly taking into
account native languages and sub-titles which ordinarily I tend not to
appreciate. Less ‘artsy’ but oscar-worthy was his less controversial but
deserving great film, ‘Braveheart’ (though a disappointing soft-touch when it
came to robert bruce).
He
ranks with the all-time greatest of directors and did not deserve the treatment
he received which no doubt would not have occurred absent ‘Passion …’ . I also
believe the great actorJim Caviezelsimilarly suffered as he’s pointed out by
his participation in the project which accurately portrays the bloodthirst
behind the crucifixion of Christ (Don’t forget his oscar-worthy performance as
‘The Count of Monte Cristo’).
While
still on the subject of film, it’s noteworthy that the great director, Alfred
Hitchcock never won an oscar … clearly a testament to the reality that bending
over is as or more important to Hollywood than talent/ability.
Without
a doubt, Mel Gibson has earned a place at/among the top of the list of greatest
directors in the history of cinema.
So
as to provide balance, let me add that ‘Minority Report’ and ‘AI’ by Steven
Spielberg were truly great films, ‘Minority Report’ being Spielberg’s best and
coincidentally, Tom Cruise’s greatest role/performance}.

Jewish stateFurther information: Homeland for the Jewish people
Explication of the wording of the Balfour Declaration is found in the
correspondence leading to the final version of the declaration. The phrase
"national home" was intentionally used instead of "state"
because of opposition to the Zionist program within the British Cabinet.
Following discussion of the initial draft the Cabinet Secretary, Mark Sykes,
met with the Zionist negotiators to clarify their aims. His official report
back to the Cabinet categorically stated that the Zionists did not want
"to set up a Jewish Republic or any other form of state in Palestine
immediately"[23]
but rather preferred some form of protectorate as provided in the Palestine
Mandate. In approving the Balfour Declaration, Leopold
Amery, one of the Secretaries to the British War Cabinet of 1917–18,
testified under oath to the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry in January 1946
from his personal knowledge that:
"The phrase 'the establishment in Palestine of a National Home for
the Jewish people' was intended and understood by all concerned to mean at the
time of the Balfour Declaration that Palestine would ultimately become a
'Jewish Commonwealth' or a 'Jewish State', if only Jews came and settled there
in sufficient numbers."[24]
Both the Zionist Organization and the British government devoted efforts
over the following decades, including Winston
Churchill's 1922 White Paper, to denying that a
state was the intention…http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balfour_Declaration) … and, also, I believe
the incentive for ‘israeli skullduggery’ in the mideast which has been

CIA drug runs in Vietnam, U.S., etc.. Like most criminals, they do it for the

of a very large animal, perhaps a huge bull elephant or even prehistoric
mammoth, which long roamed as the unchallenged king of its domain but has
become trapped by its own missteps, as caught in a tar pit or some quicksand,
and it is violently flailing about, making a terrifying noises in its effort to
free itself and re-establish its authority. Any observer
immediately knows the animal ultimately cannot succeed but certainly is
frightened by the noise and crashing that it can sustain for a considerable
time." { This analogy would almost be funny if it

real hippies; especially those real hippies who molded themselves to the extent
possible in the manner of Jesus Christ himself in terms of peace, love, and
‘quintessential anti-greed/anti-corruption’.) This t_rump scenario brings to
mind that great oscar-worthy film superbly crafted by the underrated David
Cronenberg, ‘Dead Zone’ (book by Stephen King), oscar-worthy great performance
(how did they miss it) by lead Christopher Walken with great performances
across the board; especially Martin Sheen superbly as the psychotic, ruthlessly
aggressive, trumpishly ambitious politician, Greg Stillson. Borrowing the words
of Walken’s psychically endowed Johnny Smith rather than to t_rump his own
‘your fired’, I say (to psychotic mental case trump) ’you’re finished’!}
"If they want to lecture us on democracy building,
let them lecture students at some American university," Russia’s
Commissioner for Human Rights, Democracy and the Rule of Law Konstantin Dolgov
said Tuesday, regarding the collapse of a bilateral arrangement struck in 2009
between Moscow and Washington. Fortunately for Dolgov, it doesn't appear as
though he, or any other Russian diplomats for that matter, will be forced to
endure a "lecture" on democracy from the US anytime soon because as the
positioning of 250 Bradleys and self-propelled howitzers, and associated
armored brigade combat team equipment" in Eastern Europe makes clear, the
time for dialogue of any kind has long since passed.{ Indeed, from my own direct experience, pervasively corrupt, defacto
bankrupt america sports the highest crime stats in the world and meaningful
rules of law invariably give way to the expedience of crime because in america,
crime pays and pays well … See, ie., http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdfhttp://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm
Putin
Predicted Washington Would Employ Assassination Tactic Against Russia{ I believe both Putin and Gorbachev are
correct … After all, Putin has been to those in the know, a savior to those
opposed to ruthless, insatiable forces with imperialistic/world order designs
which, in their desperation and failed policies absolutely resent, envy, and
abhor Putin’s success as an historically formidable world-class leader who has
saved Russia, and in many ways, this world from war mongering criminals who
would literally do anything to undermine him! }

odds, you have the calculated murderous american way …The following is an informative trailer with
archived historical footage which is noteworthy and seamlessly weaved into the

‘Lawman’ … For me, as for so many others, Burt Lancaster was always a pleasure
to behold on the screen … I’ve purposely not formally searched online his
‘filmography’; and rather, from ‘off-the-cuff’ recollection included some of
his memorable and diverse roles (at some point I’ll formally search/correct if
needed this off-hand list) … Quite a gymnast/athlete as ‘The Crimson Pirate’,
that ‘circus film’/trapeze film, Jim Thorpe … Geronimo … ‘Elmer Gantry’, of
course … Secret agent ‘Scorpio’, only because I had more recently viewed same …
‘The Swimmer’… and that famous

Petition
to the leadership of the Senate and House Judiciary Committees: "Subpoena all communications
between former Attorney General Eric Holder and Covington & Burling while
he served at Department of Justice and investigate any potential conflict of
interest."
Dear
Albert,
It’s the revolving door at its most despicable. Eric Holder spent six years as
attorney general, and failed to prosecute banks for their criminal wrongdoing
or put any bank executives behind bars. Now, he’s set to
rejoin his old white-collar criminal defense firm, making millions each year
helping Wall Street bankers avoid criminal consequences.1
Worse, it was just reported that the firm, Covington
& Burling, has kept an empty 11th floor corner office for Holder awaiting
his return. Combined with Holder’s purchase
a year ago of a $1.5 million condo just 300 feet from his new office raises
serious questions about how long Holder knew he would be getting a major payday
from his old firm even while it continued to represent companies under
Department of Justice investigation. If the firm and Holder agreed on a future
job offer, that alone could violate criminal laws.2
The leaders of the House and Senate Judiciary
committees owe it to the American people to explore all communications between
a sitting attorney general and a firm that appears to have been holding a job
for him while its clients negotiated legal settlements with the Justice
Department.
Wall Street banks committed fraud
that crashed the economy and then illegally foreclosed on countless homeowners,
but still not a single big bank executive has gone to jail. In many cases, the
Justice Department under Eric Holder’s leadership refused even to
prosecute banks for criminal acts, despite whistleblowers coming forward to
guide investigators to the key evidence. In the rare cases where prosecutors
brought charges, they quickly agreed on settlements that allowed banks to get
off the hook with empty promises, token fines, no admissions of wrongdoing, no
one losing their job, and no one going to jail.
We knew that Eric Holder’s long
career in white-collar criminal defense biased him against confronting mega
banks, and many expected him to return to Covington & Burling after he left
office. But only recently did it come to light that the firm had reserved a
space for him in its new building well before he had announced his attention to
resign. Not only that, last year Holder and his wife purchased a $1.5 million
just 300 feet from the firm’s downtown office, a move that
many interpret to suggest he knew he would return. The firm’s chairman
even admitted in an interview that Holder’s return was “a project
I've been working on since I started as chair [in 2008].”3
Did Covington & Burling make
concrete promises to Holder while he was still serving as attorney general?
Holding a corner office alone could constitute a violation of U.S. criminal
code prohibiting “an arrangement concerning prospective employment.”4
Even if there is no smoking gun of criminal behavior,
the mere fact that Holder will now make millions getting rich criminals off the
hook is a revolting example of the revolving door. Covington
& Burling represents JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Citibank, and nearly
every other Wall Street titan. Disturbingly, the firm’s
marketing materials include glowing references to Lanny Breuer. In Breuer's
four years as head of the Justice Department's criminal division under Holder,
he sent not a single banker to jail for crimes committed during the financial
meltdown. In 2013, Breuer left the DOJ for a job at Covington where his salary
was reported to start at around $4 million a year. The firm is notable for
helping big banks find the legal justification for much of the rampant
securitization that led to the financial crash and ensuing foreclosure fraud.5
Covington & Burling has already
brought on six of Holder’s colleagues from the Justice Department, including the
former head of the criminal division who refused to investigate banks, and the
firm reportedly views Holder as a “rainmaker” who will
bring in new business. Holder himself recently said his role model is a former
attorney general who used his position to became the first lawyer to charge
$1,000 an hour.6 Even if Holder never shows up in court to represent
his clients, he and Covington & Burling clearly plan to trade on expertise
and insider connections to defend illegal behavior and rake in big bucks.7
Holder’s new job
is already a national disgrace. The least the leaders of the House and Senate
Judiciary Committees can do is make sure it isn’t
criminal, as well.

Holder's communications with his corporate law firm while serving as head of
the Department of Justice. Click below to sign the petition.

America: A Third
World Country
By Ted Baumann, Offshore and Asset Protection Editor I’ve spent
a lot of my life in “Third World” countries. (Nowadays they’re called
“developing countries” … whether they’re developing or not.) That experience
has given me a strong sense of what makes such countries tick.
In my book, America is a Third World country.
Now, that isn’t easy to detect unless you know where … and how ... to look. And
unless you learn how to do so, you could easily leave the U.S. for some place
just as bad ... or worse.
Read on, as I lift the veil on Third World America…How This
Rogue Economist Is Preparing For The Coming Collapse
In a remarkable new video, a Florida-based economist reveals details on why
America is about to enter a downward spiral worse than the Great Depression.
Then he reveals the exact steps he’s taking to protect his finances and his
family ... and how you can do the same. Details
here.
Symptoms and Causes
The typical definition of a Third
World country focuses on “indicators”: poverty
rates, infant mortality, literacy and so on. The United Nations even publishes
a Human Development Report that ranks countries
according to a composite of these indicators.
On one hand, that’s a good thing: After all, the main reason to care about
development is its impact on human beings. But a focus on symptoms obscures the
reasons why countries get stuck in Third World status.
For example, when I worked for an international development agency, my team
worked to create a ranking system that would help us prioritize which countries
to help. But some countries were perennially resistant to change no matter how
much aid we threw at them. I wanted to know why, so our work could be
more effective. After all, why focus on the symptoms if you can identify — and
address — the causes of underdevelopment and poverty?
The Three Hallmarks of Third World Status
Three interrelated factors cause “Third
World-itis”: lopsided distribution of income; a government hijacked by
the economic elite; and a political focus on stasis rather than change.
Together those features form a self-reinforcing engine that moves in one
direction only: toward conflict, tyranny and eventual collapse.
It works like this. Lopsided income leads to lopsided wealth. Wealth means
power — more power than any vote. The governments of highly unequal
societies reflect this, as the “rules” are
reinterpreted and bent to reinforce and protect those at the top. Since those
at the top see no need to change a system that works in their favor, government
policy focuses on preventing real change …
regardless of what politicians say in public.
Of course, societies like this generate misery, which leads to resentment. That
breeds disorder, which is met by increasing force. Government becomes paranoid
and preoccupied with security. Sometimes, there’s a
tipping point: France, 1789. Russia and Eastern Europe, 1917 and 1989. Cuba,
1959. Nicaragua and Iran, 1979.
Far more common, though, are societies that grind on, with increasing poverty,
dissatisfaction, repression, and a narrowing of the economic base to little
more than whatever serves the interests of the elite, making the economy highly
vulnerable to external shocks. Chunks of Africa and Latin America fall into
this category.
What About America?
America certainly meets the
criteria for a Third World country. To start, it’s clear
that income and wealth in the U.S. have become vastly more unequal since the
mid-‘60s. In 2010, 3.3% of households received as much income as
the bottom 50%. Despite all the talk about “redistribution,” that
trend is growing dramatically worse.
What about the elite capture of
our government?
A
rigorous statistical 2014 study
by political scientists and Princeton and Northwestern found that compared to
the economic elite, average voters have a nonexistent influence on public
policies. “Not only do ordinary citizens not have uniquely substantial power
over policy decisions, they have little or no independent influence on policy
at all,” the authors conclude. In cases where the majority gets its desired
policy outcome, it’s only because the elite happen to want the same result.
Regardless of whether a small minority or a large majority of American citizens
support a policy, the probability of policy change is nearly the same —
approximately 30%.
Finally, government policy. Here’s where some will call me a heretic. When I
step back and look at the big picture, I don’t see any change in America’s key
Third World “policies” over the last 50-odd years: the dominance of corporate
managers over shareholders; acceptance of monopoly and market abuse; favoritism
towards the financial sector; and a justice system that ignores elite economic
crime.
Those “policies” are so entrenched that they aren’t even noticed ... and they
have nothing to do with taxation and redistribution. They are the
reason so many Americans want redistribution, since they distort how
our society’s wealth is distributed in the first place. Compared to these pillars,
Obamacare and the other so-called “socialist” measures favored by Democrats are
just window dressing to keep the plebs in order.
Frying Pans and Fires
What if you could identify the
structural causes of “Third World-itis”before
a country started exhibiting the symptoms? You can … just use
the framework I've laid out here. If you’re considering investing or moving
abroad, ask yourself:
1.How unequal is this society?
2.How representative are its political parties of the popular will?
3.Does the government work to make society and economy fair for all
citizens, so that high taxation and redistribution are unnecessary?
4.Are the factors above getting better, or worse?
There are countries ... most
notably, in my experience, Uruguay and a few others … that fit
this bill. Now you know why we recommend them.
Kind regards,
Ted Baumann

P.S. As America continues its decline into Third World status,
it’s crucial to have a Plan B in place. And at Sovereign’s Total
Wealth Symposium this October in The Bahamas, you’ll learn
how to do just that. With information about investing and moving offshore,
obtaining a second residence or passport, and even how to choose where to
expatriate, Total Wealth Symposium has the answers you need.
